- First project in a series using 2 1/2 inch strips to make scrappy quilts! This will be a great way to make beautiful, scrappy, quilts. My goal is to use up strips that have accumulated in my lifetime of quilting!
I've challenged myself to do a new project each month using only 2 1/2 inch strips from my scrap buckets. I have always saved leftover strips from projects and cut up small leftover fabric from yardage into 2 1/2 inch strips and put them in a bucket for some "future" project . The future is now! It is time to tame the scrap bucket and use up these strips. I'll always have a scrap bucket of strips because I'm constantly adding to it but I want to get it down to just ONE bucket instead of three! This series will last until I'm down to one bucket. Let's be honest, it will take at least 2 years to use up enough strips to make a difference! So join me on this project adventure to use up fabric scraps!

I'm 83 and have TONS of scraps. But I make any size little blankets and donate them to my local animal shelters, I can't take my fabric stash with me so I'm making random style quilts. Besides the animals don't complain. Besides now they have something that belongs to them. Use towels as batting. They will love you for it.
Thank you for doing that. ❤
I also make kennel quilts for rescue groups! I love making them!
I was just thinking of trying to use towels as batting on my small quilts. I have the same issue, lots of fabric I inherited from my mom. She decided she's going to retire from sewing and gave me all her sewing machines, notions, scraps and fabric. I've been sewing 4 years now and have not made a dent lol.
Trying to get enough scraps
❤❤❤❤❤
I've just watched this again. It's a shame I can't give another thumb up. 👍 I'm re-enjoying the series. Thanks🥳
I've been quilting for over 20 years and I don't even have half a bucket of scraps, much less enough 2.5" strips. (I don't buy pre-cuts.) but I like this so well, I am considering cutting one strip off of each of my yardage pieces just to have enough. Thanks for the idea.
I really enjoyed your video and way of teaching. I am new to quilting. The donated fabric scraps I was given I quilt together into totes and purses. I take half the money I receive and buy broad cloth solid colors with to to make the backing for scrappy quilts. I then give those quilts to the homeless shelter nearby. I live in Mississippi, and between the hurricanes and tornados, many people of all walks of life find themselves in a shelter. The workers see my truck and cone out eagerly to help me unload. It is contagious to give to others. I'll try your scrappy quilt suggestion. I subscribed so I can learn more from you.
Beds sheet sets from resale and estate sales make fab backings at nearly free prices.
Great video. So clear. Color suggestion: what I call 'juicy' - orange, yellow, green, and I throw in some raspberry for the punch of color.
You saved me from insanity! I have been a quilter for 30yrs. You can imagine how many buckets of scraps I have collected. I saved them to make a scrappy quilt someday, but until now I didn’t know where to begin. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I look forward to the next project ❤
You are so welcome!
I enjoyed this tutorial .No endless chatter .The whole video was pecise and to the point .Beautiful end results .Subscribed .
100% Endless chatter channels...I zone out.
I have leaned a lots thank you for smart sewing I ove all your saving time quilting
First time I have come across your channel. Loved the simplicity of your directions and the unique creation using various fabrics left over from other projects. Nicely done. Looking forward to more of your pieces.
I am one of those people who has trouble sewing random strips or squares together. You are so right that it takes a lot of time to not be random!! I am tryin this technique with my strips! Thanks for making it look easy to randomly come up with something lovely if you keep the color palette small. Can't wait to see more of your ideas!
Fantastic!!! I make scrappy quilts for charity, Foster kids.
Each month I choice a different theme. August is 2 1/2" strips. You have given me some good ideas. I look forward to more videos. 👍👍👍
Very clever way of using left over fabrics. Thank you for showing us how to do it. 👏🏻💕
I think a scrappy quilt using shades of autumn leaves would be beautiful.
Very pretty quilt. I have always loved blues and greens together. I am looking forward to your future projects. I love scrappy quilts.
It turned out really nice. Who would have thought that all those scraps would become such a nice quilt!
❤
I too enjoyed this tutorial. Never even thought about making a scrappy quilt, but after watching you make this one I am hooked!
Brilliant video! Thank you Shelly, I needed to be inspired to use up my 2.5 strips making charity quilts. Looking forward to the next in the series. I follow your monthly UFO challenge and monthly basket quilt blocks. Keep up the good work.
Loved watching this!! What a great way to use scraps, and your quilt and pillow turned out beautifully.
For color palettes, I love blues, grays, and turquoise, with orange for pop. Or red and pink is always lively. Red, pink and orange for some real pizazz
I absolutely love that blue and green. Those are like my two favorite colors was beautiful. Nice job using up your scraps.!!
I also like that she used black as an accent color! It really added a richness to all the other colors.
What a wonderful way to sew up those strips. I sew for a group that donates quilts to needy groups. Thank you so much for this idea. Love it.
Greetings from Scotland🏴😊
Really enjoyed watching your video - so much so that I have subscribed and look forward to more lessons in taming the scraps! I like your style - no “faffing” around, straight to to the point ❤
Love the final products!! We call the last bits "crumbs". Crumbs are great for stuffing dog beds. Thank you for sharing.
An idea I have for the crumbs is to use mod podge and glue the crumbs onto a painting canvas to make an abstract art piece.
@cindymckenna9910 Great idea! I'm an Artist (painter) that also quilts. This is a fabulous idea. Hmmm, my brain just went into overdrive: paint and fabric combined on a canvas!!?!! Thank you for the inspiration! ❤
That was a lovely tutorial to watch. Thank you and I’m looking forward to next months already! ❤🎉
Love how the colors look beautiful together ❤️ the little scraps make GREAT pillow stuffing. I just made 2 pillows and added some essence oils that will offer a nice aroma in the room
Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice job! Love the advice to use a paper bag if overthinking is involved; great tip. Looking forward to next month's offering. Thank you!
I am a new quilter and this quilt so lovely and simple has inspired me. I will try to do one as I have a lot of material from my sewing days. I have subscribed, so I look forward to your next video. Love it.
Wow! That’s a lot of scraps! Good for you for using them to make such a beautiful quilt! I really watching enjoyed the process and appreciate all the little tips. New subscriber here ❤
I am so glad I found this so I can use up my scrape pieces
I’m 69 and retired so I’m getting back to sewing❤❤❤
Love your video. Scrappy quilts are beautiful and very satisfying. Thank you for this. I’m looking forward to more.
I really need ideas to use up my scraps. Thank you for doing this series. Mindless sewing is my preferred quilting these days. This is right up my alley.
Nice ,thank you.
Mindless sewing is Great! No stress, just sewing. End result: a gorgeous Quilt that you will always Love 😊
This is awesome, I have a big collection of 2.5 strips as well- so excited to see what is next.. I hope you plan on doing other precuts as well!!
Wow. That looks great. Your technique would make a great border. Also, getting out of your comfort zone is a great idea. I am referring to the paper bag method. The whole idea of quilting comes from using leftovers. Thank you for sharing.
This quilt turned out beautifully! I’ve been looking for an easy project to do with my sisters and nieces. This is it!
I'm impressed! That quilt is absolutely beautiful! ❤
Love this video. I do like an organized scrappy. The fact you used blue and green made it more organized than just all colors together. Easier for the eye sometimes.
It turned out pretty cute! It will keep someone warm and maybe put a smile on their face. 😋 Nice job!
Wonderful idea! Can't wait to see the next one too!
One idea you could try is an autumn-themed quilt. This is the time to make one, well before the days get cool.
I also love blue & yellow quilts, & jewel tones.
I sure enjoyed your scrap busting project. I have more 2 1/2" strips than I thought and this is be perfect for me to use for Project Linus charity quilts. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to more!
Love the blues and greens, so cool and calming. Can't wait for next month.
Very nice! I like using scraps to create a nice project! Great idea!
I just found your channel this morning. Love the scrappy 2 1/2 " strip quilt! Your instructions are so clear. Thank you!
Thank you for that! I just tried doing a scrappy "something" and it's okay but I feel like I have permission - and inspiration now - to just go for it. I love the idea of coordinating colors at the start. That's a really helpful place to begin. Thank you!
I, too, am new to your channel! These random scrappy projects are so liberating some how! Not to mention, all I’ve got time and brain space for at the moment! Thank you for the tutorial!
I on purpose only make scrappy quilt, so I love seeing videos like this
all mine are crumb or scrappy...i love it....
I've been quilting about 20+ years, and I would say that I really don't like scraps. So I have just been throwing scraps in bins. Finally, I decided I needed to clean up. I've been cutting 5in and 2.5 in strips and squares since March. I figured I had about 4 bins, and then it looked like 8 bins like yours. Now I think am Almost coming to the end at about twice that, I have a few more bins to go. I am never going to let my scraps get so far away from me. Thank you for the inspiration for using up all those scraps! I😊
@@rimmon24 Me too!
It's a good thing I like scrappy quilts, this one is a great idea. I am using my cotton scraps from years of sewing to make 6x6 blocks of different scrap block ideas. When I get enough, they'll become a quilt.
Idea: I'd love to see an idea for Xmas scraps.
This is excellent! I’m in the process of organizing all my scraps and by the end I think I’ll have enough scraps for 100 quilts!! Omg it’s ridiculous. This makes it seem doable to make a bunch
Fantastic quilt, great ways to conquer your scrap pile Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
What a brilliant way to use your scraps. A beautiful quilt. 😊
That was a wonderful use of scraps! The quilt turned out very pretty. Makes me want to get into my scrap basket!
I too prefer "planned scrappy" quilts. I love the blues and greens that you used in this quilt. I might do a similar project sewing 4 or more strips together allowing me to cut larger squares so I have fewer seams. I look forward to your next tutorial.
What a great idea to both use up scraps and to produce a unique but easy charity quilt. Looking forward to viewing your upcoming projects.
Great ideas and instructions. Super easy to follow. Love the idea of coordinating colors to make a more cohesive look. It’s a more thoughtful presentation.
I love scrappy projects, especially smaller ones.
I love that you used every bit of fabric! Beautiful!
That was amazing , a quilt worthy of any bed, most impressed
What a great project! I love the colors….can’t wait to see your next strip-stash buster
Looks great! I love your easy breezy attitude toward color choice. You had asked for suggestions for next month's quilt. Would you be interested in using the Jelly Girl quilt pattern by Fig Tree? I think it looks really cool, and it uses only 2 1/2" strips.
Again you have excellent tips for us all. Thank you for sharing. This quilt is stunning. I agree with you in not focusing on which fabric is next to which when you have created your first fabric dark/light sets. Guess where I’m headed?
I absolutely love how your quilt, pillow, and glasses case turned out! Very fun!
I just love how that quilt came out; beautiful. ❤
What a beautiful quilt! Thank you so much for sharing this technique! I am very new to quilting but hopefully someday I’ll have enough scraps to try this.😊. My friend who is teaching me to quilt made the cutest dog bed and filled it with those tiny scraps you had at the very end of the video. Like you, she is very creative!! Thanks again for sharing this with us!
Welcome to the Quilt World! It's a fun & rewarding place to be. Quilt away Sister ❤
Than you so much. This project finally inspired me to dive into my stash and just get quilting again!
I went with fall colors: orange, gold, brown, tan, beige, and maroon.
It went together beautifully, I'm so very pleased.
Looking forward to the next videos and more scrap inspiration.
Love it! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Both projects turned out gorgeous! I love how you help us use our scraps. Thanks for another great video!
I loved this. Simple but very easy with pleasing results.
That turned out so beautiful! Puts me in mind of a lily pond with all the shades of blue & green, and bits of lighter colors here and there.
I have 221 sections done on day 2! I used blue and green like you did and I’m excited to get this done. I plan to donate it. Did not make a dent in my scrap bin tho😂 thank you for this!
Omg that quilt turned out fabulous! ❤
What a great idea. I don't have as many 2 1/2 inch strips as you but I could certainly adapt this to make a quilt; thank you 🙂
Love how it turned out!! Thanks for a great tutorial.
Your quilt turned out really pretty! I haven’t been quilting long enough to have much left over fabric but I’m definitely going to do this when I have enough.
This would be great for potato chip block (2.5 x 4.5 sewn in circle) like Mount Scrapmore lady.
Love this tutorial. Your instructions are so conclude and easy to follow. I am new to your channel and I am impressed. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
This could be fun as a QAYG! Use those machine embroidery designs. Fun and pretty
That turned out so pretty! ❤ I recently made a scrappy blue, green and neutral hourglass lap quilt from my 2-1/2” strip drawer. I have lots of warm tone, autumn colors in that drawer. Maybe use those colors in a future video?
Wow i just came across your videos I love this kind of quilting. ❤.
It came out so pretty. I just love it.... I am awestruck at how many strips you have. That is a crazy amount. It didn't seem like you had enough to make a quilt. I am just amazed at people who can make scrappy quilts. They turn out so beautiful, I am too obsessive to make them personally. I wish I could do that.
Hola ,me pasa lo mismo que a ti, me complicó mucho con los diseños, y así rudimentarios quedan hermosos 😊
Wonderful video - wonderful project! Thanks a lot! Subscribed 😊
I love the tool you used for cutting the chained pieces apart. Love the finished pieces.
What was the cutting tool called?
It's called Blade Saver. Put a used rotary blade inside.
I can't help but to think that if you did 2 versions of the same - maybe different colors, that it could be the quilt backing as well. Otherwise, a reversible quilt. Great job
So beautiful I was amazed how you did not lay the blocks out to see what type of pattern they would go in and I must say it looks absolutely beautiful ❤
New subscriber, you provided information on strips that I had never heard before. Altogether I loved your video but sure wanted to see a close-up of how you quilted it, including the backing. Now I am going through your profile page to watch more videos
I would love to see a Christmas one!!!
I found the first in the series! So happy! I want to see them all!
You can do it! Happy Quilting!
Beautiful I love scrappy quilts. I would love to see a yellow scrappy project.
That quilt could not have been more beautiful!
That safety pin pinned to a set of 10 blocks is brilliant! I’m using that next time 🤠
Great idea , I love scrap quilts thank you for the video.
I love it! I just sewed some strips together yesterday, so this is perfect!!
I’m learning about how to do scrappy. I have always been a fan of everything matching and I’m moving a little more out of my comfort zone. 😊
I think blues and greens are a match made in heaven! Lovely quilt and an easy tutorial for beginners and scrappers, thanks
Just found your RUclips channel. Love scrappy quilts and have plenty of scraps to use. 😊
Wonderful inspiration. Choosing the right colorways is a great way to get started. Looks much nicer than just sewing miscellaneous strips together.
Yes. A somewhat planned color scheme looks more purposeful/cohesive. However, I also Love total scrappiness with white, or very dark sashing/background. The possibilities are endless ❤
Thank you! I have so many scraps and want to make a scrappy quilt, but I am so nervous to do this. It will be my first quilt. I really need that blade saver. Great video for a newbie. 🥰❤
Beautiful, love it!
Lovely and colorful..enjoyed watching it....sure will give it a try
Thanks for videos of these quilts using 2.5 inch strips. Your quilt is beautiful. I don't have nearly as many strips as you, but last year I organized the ones that I have by color so hopefully I can make one of the quilts in your series using some of them.
I love the way you explain things. You make it seem so easy. Love your blue and green quilt. God bless.
That is a beautiful quilt!
That scrappy quilt was so beautiful! Would you ever consider sending your leftover scraps (15:49) to your fans? I have been wanting to grow my scrap stash and would be interested!
I am so ready to use my left over biindings for this pattern for lap tops. Love the idea - sooo easy.
I love to watch you make these scrap quilts. And you are so pleasant to listen to.
